Chapter 249: Old Things
Liu Tong didn't want to hide it from Chang Runzhi, and two laughs came out of his throat when he heard the words. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Runzhi, you are really smart...... Liu Tong sighed, holding the handkerchief covering his eyes, without looking at Chang Runzhi, he spoke very simply and fluently.
"That's right, I planned this whole thing for half a year, and deliberately waited until the day of the concubine's birthday."
Chang Runzhi was puzzled: "It is understandable that it takes half a year to make a careful plan." But why did you choose today? ”
Liu Tong explained: "On the birthday of the noble concubine, there are never a few people who come to celebrate her birthday, including relatives of the emperor and the country, and there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. ”
"So, do you want everyone to witness the exposure of this matter, so that the prince has no way to hide and suppress this matter?"
Liu Tong shook his head.
"That's one of the reasons. Another reason...... Maybe it also has the meaning of compensating the concubine. ”
Liu Tong sighed lightly: "The prince and the Fuguo Mansion calculated that I would marry a daughter, and the concubine Niangniang knew about it." Do you remember when I asked to marry you? It was through the relationship of the concubine that I blackmailed her with this matter, and the concubine helped me open my mouth in front of my father. That's why our marriage went smoothly. ”
"In this way, the concubine is kind to us." Chang Runzhi said softly.
"Hmm." Liu Tong did not deny it: "I think that the concubine Niangniang has actually known since that time, and this matter will one day be hidden." I chose her birthday to find out about this matter, and I also hope that she can use this day to alleviate some of her guilt. You see, when the matter was exposed, the prince refuted it, although it was very weak...... But the concubine Niangniang was exempted from the crime of waiting, because she clearly knew that this matter could not withstand investigation. Instead of deceiving and deceiving yourself now, it is better to correct your attitude at the beginning, so that you can get a reputation for making up for your achievements. ”
Liu Tong paused: "And, on the other hand, this can be regarded as giving me support." After all, her behavior can be regarded as proof that she did not report what happened to the prince back then. ”
Chang Runzhi nodded slowly, she understood the matter of the concubine.
Although she doesn't have much contact with the concubine Niangniang, she still feels the kindness of the concubine Niangniang to her in the few times she touches her.
As a high-ranking but childless palace concubine, the noble concubine Niangniang always had to consider her situation after the death of Emperor Yuanwu.
The prince is the prince, she can't afford to offend, but she can't get over her conscience, so she feels guilty about Liu Tong.
It's also a bad score.
Chang Runzhi slowed down, and asked a key question: "The ...... of that play in the Westward Society"
"I arranged it." Liu Tong bowed: "I told this story to Yao Chengxi, and let Yao Chengxi make a play, and the ending was a happy ending of the reunion set by Yao Chengxi." I thought it would be more ironic and closer to my psyche, so I agreed. ”
"This play is just to let King Cen use this story to mention the marriage of the daughter of the Fuguo Mansion back then?"
"That's right." Liu Tong said: "This can be regarded as giving King Cen a reason to have a seizure. ”
Chang Runzhi looked at Liu Tong steadily, although Liu Tong's eyes were blindfolded, he could also feel Chang Runzhi's gaze focused on his face.
He sighed and said, "King Cen can also be regarded as my alliance. ”
"When did you make an alliance with King Cen?" Chang Runzhi frowned, faintly uneasy: "King Cen helps you today, maybe tomorrow he will turn against him, tell the Holy Lord that this is all instructed by you, you ......"
"He won't." Liu Tong smiled, but said firmly: "What he said today is clearly layered and step by step, and it is the result of our rehearsal over and over again. He was determined to pull the prince off the horse, and he would not go wrong at such a time. ”
Chang Runzhi was surprised: "Where did the prince offend him so ruthlessly and let him take such a big risk to deal with him?" ”
Liu Tong was silent for a while, and then said softly: "This is also the reason why I have been brewing for half a year before I played this card." ”
"It's about King Cen?"
"Yes."
Liu Tong sat up slightly straight: "Runzhi, do you remember Wang Baoqin who went out of my house?" ”
"Of course I do." Chang Runzhi glanced at him.
Wang Baoqin and Duan Runan are the only two of his "women" in Liu Tong's mansion, Duan Rounan lives in the Nine Emperors' Mansion with peace of mind, is protected by Liu Tong and Chang Runzhi, and takes on the name of a concubine, but does not do the business of a concubine. Wang Baoqin begged Chang Runzhi to allow her to leave the house because she wanted to raise her nephews and nieces who had passed away, and now she is also the shopkeeper of Chang Runzhi's dowry shop, and her work ability is also very good.
Liu Tong then said: "This Wang Baoqin once had a fellow villager named Xiao Yuze, and to the outside, those who knew the two of them thought they were eating each other, but in fact they were not. ”
The name Xiao Yuze is not unfamiliar to Chang Runzhi, after all, it took Wei Zi a lot of effort to find out about him.
In fact, when Chang Runzhi knew the clues about Xiao Yuze's life, she also learned some clues about King Cen from Duan Rounan's mouth, but she did not connect the two.
Hearing Liu Tong say this at this time, Chang Runzhi was suddenly surprised: "King Cen has a habit of peeping at the eunuch's room, is this Xiao Yuze ......?"
Liu Tong said suspiciously: "You also know Xiao Yuze? ”
"Yes." Chang Runzhi's head: "The two children raised by Wang Baoqin are the children of Xiao Yuze's eldest brother. ”
Since Liu Tong has checked Xiao Yuze, of course he also knows about the existence of these two children.
He nodded, "I see." ”
"King Cen and Xiao Yuze...... What is the relationship? Chang Runzhi grasped the point: "King Cen promised to help you expose the affairs of the year in the palace, is it because of this Xiao Yuze?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Tong said: "King Cen ...... him to Xiao Yuze"
Liu Tong suddenly fell silent.
He took away the handkerchief in his hand and said to Chang Run: "King Cen has a voyeurism, in fact, there is a reason. Her mother, Concubine Yu, was not from a good background, and she was cowardly, and when King Cen was young, he saw the eunuchs in the palace do something to Concubine Yu. At that time, King Cen was also afraid of this, and developed the habit of hiding in the dark to observe these things. ”
After Concubine Yu died, King Cen's hobby increased instead of decreasing, and out of anger at his mother being molested by eunuchs, he went the opposite way and found such a reason...... He just wanted to see the distorted appearance of the eunuch who obviously had desires, but couldn't relieve them like a normal man. At the same time, King Cen also developed that kind of ...... There are some crazy people who can't wait for the world to be in chaos. ”
Chang Runzhi secretly said in his heart, King Cen is really a madman.
No wonder she thinks that King Cen's personality is a little strange, the yin and yang are unpredictable, it turns out that he really has psychological problems.
"Then what happened later...... Chang Runzhi asked, "What did he do to Xiao Yuze?" ”
Liu Tong lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Although King Cen didn't say it, but look at his willingness to help me without reservation, in addition to various other reasons, I think the most important reason should be this Xiao Yuze." ”
Liu Tong paused and said, "King Cen should be happy with Xiao Yuze." (To be continued.) )
